Posthumous Art, Law and the Art Market : The Afterlife of Art Paperback / softback
Edited by Sharon Hecker, Peter J. Karol
Part of the Routledge Research in Art History series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book takes an interdisciplinary, transnational and cross-cultural approach to reflect on, critically examine and challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after death in an artist's name, through the lenses of scholars from the fields of art history, economics and law, as well as practicing artists. Works of art conceived as multiples, such as sculptures, etchings, prints, photographs and conceptual art, can be—and often are—remade from original models and plans long after the artist has passed.
Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of posthumous works, contemporaneous with questioning on the part of art history.
Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions.
Non-Western approaches to posthumous art, from Chinese emulations of non-living artists to Native American performances, take into account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary, market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, the art market, art law, art management, museum studies and economics.
